What happens to flows created by outgoing users?

Posted on by Flow-Mo

Hi there, I am leaving my company in about a month and I was wondering what will happen to the flows I have built to automate a couple SharePoints.

I found the share function but I am not a premium user and do not own a paid license. Will using the trial be enough to transfer ownership? Can I use the trial to save the workflows? Will my workflows survive past my company accounts eventual deletion?

This is a big sticking point for any future progress my company can have with Power Automate. I hope there is a way around this without the full paid license (corporate bureaucracy prevents paying for a license, at least in the case of my crunched timeline). Thanks in advance for any advice!

Re: What happens to flows created by outgoing users?

If you don't have a premium license and the flows don't use any premium connectors then you can share the flows with another user who has an Office 365 license. They can then edit the flow and change the account used on the connections to their account and everything will continue to work. Many companies use a service account to create flows for this very reason. The person who built the flow using the service account can leave the company, but the service account stays in place. The service account will need the same license that the user has. In this case that would be an Office 365 license.
